    The Military Industrial Complex has been normalized over centuries. Humanity just can’t stop killing each other. It’s an instinct that evolved to be helpful to survival at one point thousands of years ago but may actually mean the end of humanity soon.

    AI and all of the resources it consumes have not yet been normalized to anywhere near the level of “Defense”.

    Give it time and average humans will care just as little about all the resources consumed by AI as they care about all the resources consumed by war. Unfortunately I seriously doubt that it will go the other way around and humans will suddenly start caring more about the resources consumed by the Military Industrial Complex. That ship has sailed…

      Killing other humans is not an instinct at all. Self defense when threatened is an instinct, people get tricked by these in power to feel in danger and to kill others.
